Omen
Ginne Marker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t you see I’m the bearer of
These bittersweet but bad news for us
I’ve kept it down and at this point
My silver tongue can turn anything to dust
Omen
Don’t be fooled by the thrill of us
Biting bullets long enough
Careful dear, is it even worth the shot
Never had the nerve to
Scared you’re gonna see through
My caged heart in this curfew
Blessed are the solitary lone few
Just let me adore you
‘Till it starts to burn through
Your cyanide for perfume
Shielded, guarded virtue
Maybe it’s an omen
Omen, omen
Mark my words, spare those tears
Too precious for my duly noted fears
Timely matter set in motion
Something’s changed
Oh honey, don’t you notice?
Never had the nerve to
Scared you’re gonna see through
My caged heart in this curfew
Blessed are the solitary lone few
Just let me adore you
‘Till it starts to burn through
Your cyanide for perfume
Shielded, guarded virtue
Maybe it’s an omen
Omen, omen
Omen, omen
The lyrics of "Omen" by Ginne Marker depict a complex relationship where the singer is hesitant to fully reveal themselves to their partner. The opening lines suggest that the singer is the bearer of some troubling news, something that could potentially disrupt their relationship. Despite this, they have kept it hidden, using their persuasive skills to manipulate the truth and turn any situation into a negative one.
The chorus warns the partner not to be fooled by the thrill of their relationship, as it may lead to a dangerous and uncertain path. The singer hints at the idea of their own insecurities, expressing a fear of being seen through by their partner. They feel trapped within their own emotions and guarded against revealing their true self. The plea to be adored may stem from a desire for acceptance and understanding, as they struggle to maintain a facade of strength. The repetition of "omen" throughout the song suggests that their relationship is marked by a sense of foreboding, perhaps alluding to the fact that something is fundamentally wrong or that their internal struggles will eventually come to light.
Overall, "Omen" explores the theme of self-doubt, fear of vulnerability, and the consequences of masking one's true emotions in a relationship.

Don’t you see I’m the bearer of
I want you to realize that I am the one who carries
These bittersweet but bad news for us
This news I bring is a mix of happiness and sadness, but ultimately negative for both of us
I’ve kept it down and at this point
I have suppressed it until now
My silver tongue can turn anything to dust
My smooth and persuasive words can destroy anything
Don’t be fooled by the thrill of us
Do not let the excitement of our relationship deceive you
In no time have you staring down the barrel of
Very quickly, you will find yourself in a dangerous situation
Biting bullets long enough
Enduring hardships for a long time
Careful dear, is it even worth the shot
Be cautious, my love, is it worth taking the risk?
Never had the nerve to
I have never had the courage to
Scared you’re gonna see through
Afraid that you will see the truth
My caged heart in this curfew
My confined emotions in this restricted time
Blessed are the solitary lone few
Fortunate are those who are solitary and few in number
Just let me adore you
Allow me to love and appreciate you
‘Till it starts to burn through
Until it becomes intensely overwhelming
Your cyanide for perfume
Your deadly poison disguised as fragrance
Shielded, guarded virtue
Preserved and protected integrity
Maybe it’s an omen
Perhaps it is a sign or a warning
Mark my words, spare those tears
Remember what I'm saying, don't waste your tears
Too precious for my duly noted fears
Too valuable to be consumed by my acknowledged anxieties
Timely matter set in motion
A timely event that has been initiated
Something’s changed
Something has been altered
Oh honey, don’t you notice?
Oh, darling, don't you realize it?
Omen, omen
A sign or a warning
Omen, omen
A sign or a warning
